Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the physical geography of Africa. It focuses on the integrated analysis of the continent’s geology, geomorphology, climate, hydrology, soils, and vegetation geography. Additional excursions examine the impact of major environmental challenges related to human activity - such as soil erosion, desertification, and climate change - and also explain key geoscientific terms. Rich color photographs and engaging cartography support and enhance understanding.
The book serves a dual purpose: it offers the interested reader a concise introduction to Africa’s physical geography while also functioning as a structured reference work. It will be of enduring value to students and scholars of African physical geography and anyone interested in Africa’s environment and environmental change - including staff of development organizations and development professionals seeking reliable background information on the continent’s natural conditions.
